Arm Saga....

Being a mom I decided I would feel more comfortable going to Noah's own Dr. Besides his arm was looking very swollen around his elbow. So Monday we went to see Dr. G. I took the xrays with me. He looked at his arm, felt it, pushed on it,(SCREAM) turned it (SCREAM), said let me go look at the x rays, because it is acting like a fracture. He looked at the x rays and said there was no visible break, but it could be his growth plate which does not show up on xrays. He sent us to the orthopedist. Well, he looked at it, felt it , Pushed it (SCREAM), turned it (SCREAM) and said "I think he fractured the head of his radius" More xrays and sure enough he cracked the head of his radius. Well he is only in a sling, not a cast because of where it is it would stiffen his elbow to much. So we are in a sling for 3-4 weeks. the good news is he can get in the pool if he wants to. Which is great since we leave Saturday for the beach. I am glad that he is not in a cast because that would make a long summer. I will keep you updated on it.

The Arm Saga Continues

Well, we woke up on Sunday morning (Father's Day) and Noah's arm and fingers were SO swollen!! So after watching Noah for awhile who still was not using his arm, celebrating Father's Day with Marks dad, and putting together a trampoline, I decided to take him to American Family Care. Well...we all know how Doc in the Boxes work. It took forever!!! After some x-ray of his forearm (that is where he said it hurt) seeing the doc. It was determined that it was not broken, however it could have been a green stick fracture, or a sprain, or it may be his growth plate. Noah was sent home with sling, some pain meds, meds for swelling. It was told that if he didn't start using it intentionally in few days we would need to see an orthopedist. So we then went to GG and Big Paw Paw's new house to celebrate Father's Day. The story will continue...

Happy Father's Day

Noah is 5

Noah turned 5 on June 11!! I can hardly believe my baby will be going to BIG school in the fall!!! On his birthday we celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese with Mimi, Paw Paw, GG, and Big Paw Paw. We all had a great time and Noah was really excited about his Rocket Flying Fishing Rod!! He could probably tell you the number to call off the TV to order the crazy thing. We had Noah's party Saturday at the park, but he had another party to go to that morning also at a park. Well, that turned into an ordeal when he fell off the monkey bars. When daddy brought him home he was in a lot of pain, so we iced it, elevated it, rested it and then went on to his birthday. Well, he did not get any better, he wouldn't really play, he didn't want to leave the ice off. He finally came around to open his presents and he did finally play some. He was very excited about all his presents especially the trampoline!!! As the night progressed he really wasn't using his arm he didn't complain about it hurting, but he didn't use it. I wrapped it in an ace bandage for the night. The story will continue....
